Private Lessons

Without question, the most effective way to enrich a student’s overall musical experience is to provide private lessons. The benefits of private lessons are numerous, but here are a few key points:

• Private lessons allow a student to receive one-on-one attention and customized instruction from a dedicated teacher who can focus on the student's specific needs, learning style, and progress. 

• With the individual focus of private lessons, students can often progress faster and solidify technical and musical skills more quickly compared to learning in a group setting.

• Private lessons provide an opportunity to thoroughly address and refine foundational techniques, such as posture, bow hold, fingering, and tone production, which are essential for building a strong instrumental foundation.

• The teacher can curate repertoire and assign practice exercises that are specifically suited to the student's current abilities and goals, facilitating more efficient and effective learning.

• In private lessons, the teacher can provide immediate, detailed feedback on the student's performance and progress, enabling them to make targeted improvements.

If you practice, you get better.

If you get better, you play with better players.

If you play with better players, you play better music.

If you play better music, you have more fun.

If you have fun, you want to practice more.

If you practice more, you get better…
